What are the harms of abortion to women?

Nowadays people have more open mindsets and are very open about sex life. However, if you do not take proper contraceptive measures, it is very easy to have an unwanted pregnancy. Since most people cannot have children, they must have an artificial abortion. But abortion can cause harm. So, what are the harms of abortion to women? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. The harm of abortion to women's psychology is often overlooked. Many women who have had abortions will think of the aborted embryos and feel guilty when they see the children born in the year of the abortion a few years later. She would think, if I hadn’t had an abortion, my child would be this big now.

2. Repeated suction of the contents of the uterine cavity may cause adhesion of the uterine cavity and the cervical canal, and may also cause uterine cavity hemorrhage or menstrual blood to flow back into the abdominal cavity, causing endometriosis and cyclical lower abdominal pain.

3. If artificial abortions are performed repeatedly, the basal layer of the endometrium will be damaged repeatedly, resulting in the inability of the functional layer to regrow. At this time, although the ovaries are functioning intact and ovulation occurs on time every month, the functional layer of the endometrium cannot regenerate after being shed, so menstruation will not occur, resulting in amenorrhea.

4. Human pregnancy is a very complex process of physiological changes, which manifests itself in the endocrine system through increased progesterone, thickening of the endometrium, and enlargement of the breasts, laying the foundation for the growth of the fetus. Repeated artificial abortions can easily cause endocrine disorders and lead to irregular menstruation.

5. Repeated abortions often require scraping the endometrium. The more times the surgery is performed, the greater the damage to the endometrium. When you want to get pregnant again, it is easy for placenta to implant and adhere, which can cause dystocia and retained placenta.

6. The endometrium cannot be completely repaired in the short term after each artificial abortion, and the cervical mucus plug is wiped off during the operation. In this way, bacteria can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause endometritis and cervicitis.

The above is an introduction to the harm that abortion does to women. I hope it will help you understand it. Abortion can cause great harm to a woman's body. In daily life, women must learn to protect themselves and take appropriate contraceptive measures to avoid unwanted pregnancies. If you need to undergo surgery, it is best to go to a regular hospital to avoid negative harm.
